Cambridge Crops - Chief Science Officer

Cambridge Crops is a biotechnology start-up focused on agriculture applications.
Together with MIT and Tufts university we have developed an innovative biofilm that can extend naturally the shelf life of food perishables like fruits and vegetables.
We published an article in Nature where we demonstrated that our biomaterial coating extends the shelf life of bananas and strawberries (http://www.nature.com/articles/srep25263). Below are some articles about the technology:

We are actively looking for a Chief Science Officer with deep knowledge in agriculture to lead the science team and design experiments together with industrial food companies. The start-up is currently raising $1million in a seed round and we have secured 3 partnerships with leading fruit producers to start the pilot phase.
